Techniques for implementing accurate operating current values stored in a database
Memory modules and methods for fabricating and implementing memory modules wherein unique operating current values corresponding to specific memory devices on the memory modules are accessed from a database such that the operating current values may be implemented to improve system performance. Memory modules comprising a number of volatile memory devices may be fabricated. Operating current values corresponding to the specific memory devices on the memory module may be stored in a database and accessed during fabrication or during implementation of the memory modules in a system. System performance may be optimized by implementing the unique operating current values corresponding to the specific memory devices on the memory modules.
1. A method of manufacturing a memory module comprising:
measuring an operating current value in a volatile memory device;
storing the operating current value in a database, wherein the operating current value is stored by a chip identification number uniquely corresponding to the volatile memory device;
reading the operating current value from the database;
storing the operating current value in a non-volatile memory device; and
forming a memory module comprising each of the volatile memory device and the non-volatile memory device.
2. The method of manufacturing, as set forth in claim 1 , wherein reading the operating current value comprises accessing the database via the Internet.
3. The method of manufacturing, as set forth in claim 1 , wherein reading the operating current value comprises accessing the database, wherein the database is stored on a compact disk.
4. The method of manufacturing, as set forth in claim 1 , wherein reading comprises reading the operating current value, wherein the operating current value corresponds to a dynamic random access memory device.
5. The method of manufacturing, as set forth in claim 1 , wherein forming comprises forming a dual inline memory module.
6. A method of manufacturing a memory module comprising:
